theres nothing wrong with solitude, but if your sad you should probably keep a line of defence against depression

I wish I could isolate myself more. Unfortunately I have to ā€˜mixā€™ with people at work :-/

I am at cross roads. On one hand I would love as minimal contact with people. At current going to work (which will eventually increase), attend college (one more class till degree), see the regular people i must see, plus a self help group is all I really need. Other than that I am alone. And I kinda count when I am out in people prone places but I interact with no one unless i must as isolation because I keep to myself. I know this seems like a lot of potential contact but to me it is minimal since i ma hardly using my voice or actions to engage with the real world. Sure i have some contact through the internet with people like me (like this site) but to me my books and art are my pride and joy in this life of mine.

Overall what I am saying is that I am contact with people, my family just wish I actually get out more but for the most part I am content with the contact I do have. I get drained from interacting with people. And if i do want contact, I do try (sometimes other times I just let that fade away till i am back to being the usual me).

Iā€™m surprised most ppl on here desire isolationā€¦ I do, too, but there are adverse effects of loneliness. You are more prone to disease, like dementia, thus cutting oneā€™s life span. I get it that being around others may be stressful, but (IMO) we should never desire isolation. I like my alone time but always am at the ready to make a new friend. Give yourself alone time, but stay open to getting along with others.

I enjoy communicating from a distance, I think for some people alone time can be good. Since becoming sick I have found it difficult to relate to others, I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon this forum.

i love socializing but when it is a positive relationship(s). when things are wrong I tend to want to run and hide instead of rising to the challenge of the situation. the trouble is I donā€™t know how to handle bad social situations other than to ignore them. communicating something I feel would be better, but what to say? I donā€™t know.
